Prayers needed

My Dad got in some sort of accident on his bike last night (he doesn't know what happened)and he is in the hospital. The bones around his eye are broken and he has bleeding in three places of his brain. They have been able to stabilize him so he hasn't need any surgery so far. Please keep him in your prayers.

My hero!



Phil has started his new job in Texas. He did training all last week and started his work yesterday. He has been working long hours and then going home to study for the CPA exam all night. He takes the first portion of the test this Saturday so wish him luck! I am so proud of my sweet hubby. He works so hard for us and I know it's not fun. Not only does he work, study, and drive a lot, he also has to deal with my emotions over the phone. What would I do without him?

I flew back to Utah yesterday morning. Since we moved all of our stuff to Texas and Phil is in Texas, coming back to Utah feels so weird. I feel like I am visiting and about to go back home to Phil. I am sure it'll hit me soon that this is not just a visit, it's four months!

Longest drive of our life


Right after getting home from Las Vegas we had to finish up packing and drive to Texas. We (meaning Phil) drove this insanely huge truck all the way from Provo, UT to Houston, TX. We thought that drive would never end. I was too scared to try to drive the truck and I doubt Phil would have even let me since I'd probably kill us or something. So instead I played DJ and tried to stay up as long as I could. We thought we could drive straight through with taking a few hour breaks to sleep. WRONG!! We left Thursday night and didn't get to Houston until 2:00pm on Saturday! After all of that driving and no sleep or showers we had to unload the truck in the rain! Thankfully Phil's parents were there to save the day and help us out. After that Phil went and helped the Canes (the family we shared the truck with) unload their stuff and they lived on the 3rd floor of an apartment. We survived this adventure but it makes us want to throw everything away next time we move so we don't have to cart it across the country.

Vegas

We went to Las Vegas with our friends Courtney and Cody about a week ago. It was awesome. We saw Blue Man Group, The Tournament of the Kings, and Cirque Du Soleil. I wish I had pictures of these shows but cameras weren't allowed. Instead I put up pictures of some other stuff we did while in Las Vegas.

I played $1 and won 2 cents

We spent a lot of time at the pool
